Isaiah 26:3 — 'You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.'
The Hebrew is 'shalom shalom' — peace, peace. Doubled for emphasis. It means complete wholeness, nothing missing, nothing broken inside.
And the condition is where your mind lives. Stayed on you. Anchored. Fixed. Like a boat tied to a solid post in a strong current.
Peace is a byproduct of attention. If you stare at the problem all day, anxiety grows. If your gaze keeps drifting back to God, peace grows. Same hours, different outcome.
The reason it works is trust. The next line says so. Peace is the fruit of trust, and trust is the fruit of knowing who God is.
